These are not regulations and occasionally a high level of activity, such as during a period of emergency response, DXpedition or contest, may result in stations operating outside these Frequency in the rules recognizes a net s, group s or any individual s special privilege to any specific Frequency . Section (b) of the Rules states that Each station licensee and each control operator must cooperate in selecting transmitting channels and in making the most effective use of the amateur service frequencies. No Frequency will be assigned for the exclusive use of any station.
3 No one owns a s good practice and plain old common sense for any operator , regardless of mode, to check to see if the Frequency is in use prior to engaging operation. If you are there first, other operators should make an effort to protect you from interference to the extent possible, given that 100% interference-free operation is an unrealistic expectation in today s congested bands.
